Editorial Reviews in Praise of Legacy of War
5-Star Review Award by Readers'Favorite
" Legacy of War by Ed Marohn is something a little bit unique. It isn’t exactly a war novel, but the Vietnam War dominates the narrative. It is a thriller, but it is more of a psychological thriller than spies getting into and out of tight situations. It moves from country to country in a way that keeps the pace moving quickly, but it ends up where you know that it had to; the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. I loved Legacy of War. It has the insight and reflection that any realistic novel about the chaos of war and life must have to be realistic and authentic. Legacy of War will make you think and feel deeply about right and wrong. It also shows that when everything is said and done, some people just cannot find their way through the horror and confusion of war. And some people can.
John Moore is a great hero. He is the perfect kind of hero to tell a story like this. He is educated. He is a person who indulges in a lot of self-reflection, and he knows a little bit about the human mind and the human heart. Ed Marohn’s best choice in writing Legacy of War is choosing John Moore to tell this tale. There are other good characters, some of them even great. This is because Ed Marohn is a great writer. He handles all aspects of storytelling like a master, so we can feel the different settings. We know the different characters, and in the case of the bad guys, we can feel their evil. If you like serious, well-written stories about war in general, and stories about the Vietnam War in particular, you will love Legacy of War." Reviewed By Ray Simmons for Readers’ Favorite
"Legacy of War is a well-researched and tightly-plotted novel that will have readers turning the pages to find out (how) a decades long plot for revenge turns out . . . .
Fans of the military thriller genre will find a lot to enjoy in the pages of Legacy of War. The novel is not a caricature of history, but rather looks back at the Vetnam War to show how it affected personal lives and culture at large." The Booklife Prize review 2019
". . . the pace of the narrative moves along quickly, keeping readers moving through the story at a pace that never lacks momentum. Marohn effectively tells a story from the perspective of a man in his mid-fifties who is looking back on his life, fostering new feelings of attraction following the loss of his wife, and revisiting wounds of the past . . . When combined with the energy of a military mystery-thriller, Legacy of War makes for a more than compelling read . . . "

" . . .a military thriller that delivers all the goods. . . .once the story gets going, it moves with the speed of a piano falling out of a thirteen-story window."

A 30 second elevator pitch for Legacy of War:
"We murdered them . . ."
A new patient triggers Psychologist John Moore’s traumatic memories of his last days of the Vietnam War. Moore is forced to return to modern-day Vietnam, a journey confronting his past war demons: the dying on the killing fields, a rogue CIA agent, corrupt South Vietnamese Army officers, the father he never knew, and the war’s perverted killing machine—the Phoenix Program. In the decaying jungles he fights his anguish compounded by his wife’s death and his growing attraction to a national police agent.
